A short conversational segment from a YouTube video where Speaker B asks about common signs people are overdoing intermittent fasting. Speaker A explains that cultural messages encourage ever-greater restriction and exercise (e.g., very low calories plus intense training), which disrupts hormones, increases hunger signals, and often leads to binge eating when the body can no longer sustain the restriction.
What are the most common things you hear in your, in your community that you just know like they're overdoing it. They need to shift how they're fasting.
We're just taught to do more and more and more, more dieting, diet harder, diet harder. We're also taught that it's supposed to be quick so we're taught to eat less, move more and if that doesn't work, turbocharged, eat way less, move way more. Now you're like living on you know, 800 calories a day and you're doing CrossFit well what does your body do that's what's really bad for your hormones is the over restricting and the over exercise and then your body starts sending you the increased hunger signals. You start feeling the urge to binge and then eventually you know we can't fight that biological urge. If you try to force your body to be over restricted for a long long time your body is going to send you powerful signal and then you end up binging.
